Scientists Analyzing These Ancient Nails Found Links To A Major Moment In Jesus’ Story
Inside a laboratory in the ancient city of Jerusalem, a team of scientists is picking apart secrets from the distant past. For years, suspense has been gathering around two mysterious artifacts: a pair of nails allegedly retrieved from a biblical tomb. Could they really be linked to the life of Jesus Christ? Now, a new study has revealed some thrilling conclusions.
Ever since filmmaker Jacobovici showcased the nails in his 2011 documentary Nails of the Cross, they’ve been the subject of intense speculation. And up until this point, their provenance has been a matter of great debate. According to some, these items are connected to one of the most famous stories in the Bible – an incident with tragic results.
Unsurprisingly, though, some experts have argued against this dramatic origin story, denying that the nails have any biblical links. So geologist Aryeh Shimron set out to find the truth. With the help of a team from Israel’s top scientific institutions, he began studying the artifacts, hoping to unlock their mysteries once and for all.
And in July 2020 the results of Shimron’s study were published, sending shockwaves through the archaeological community. According to his research, the evidence indicates that the nails were indeed found within the crypt of a biblical priest. What’s more, if Jacobovici’s to be believed, they could be connected to a crucial moment in the life of Jesus.
Of course, it’s far from the first time that ancient relics have been linked to the biblical story of Jesus. The most famous of these, perhaps, is the elusive artifact known as the Holy Grail. According to legend, this cup or chalice was used during the Last Supper, when the alleged son of god dined with his disciples for the final time.
